My project, https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/52540776/ is in beta and I want to add cloud save data to it. Where you get a code to type in to the game to reload your data.

Cloud saving can be tricky, as you can only upload numbers to the cloud. However, many people have figured ways around this limitation such as:

I don't get how I would add this code to my game. Wait do you need a variable sort of thing that… If the variable is 0 then the game starts at the beggining, and if the variable is about 4 then it would be towards the end of the game. The save data codes are these codes which change the variable, which changes the point in the game, especially if it's a story sort of game which is the type of game I'm adding to…

There are two ways to save progress in a game. You can write something to the cloud that is linked to that username or you can make up a way of encoding the current game state and give the player a code to save themselves and paste (or type in) when they start the game next time. The latter is simpler but easier for people to work around although anyone can work round the cloud version if they create their own copy of the game and write to their own copies of the cloud variables.

So it depends what you want really, providing a player with a 4 or 5 character code to get back to where they were shouldn't be difficult - decide what variables you need to store and invent a way of encoding it. This method can also be used by players who are new to Scratch who can't access cloud vairables.

Ok then…

How can you add a cloud ‘high score’ table so you can see what scores everybody has? Like in Griffpatch's Hill Climb Racing?

My game isn't a scoring sort of game. It's a storyline game.

play my games plez

No one is advertising their games. The original poster (squirrel719) and FiddleFordMcGucket were both describing their games and asking questions on the programming.

Please start your own topic if you need help.

You can make codes.
Example: “NEW GAME” or “LOAD LEVEL CODE”
If you need to save few variables, you need to encode they to one variable.
This is pretty easy.

This topic is from 2015: if you need help it'd be much more convenient for everyone to just make a new post. Thanks!
